The common method would be throwing in a couple of market prawns. Having to wait for it to rot is a lengthy process. To speed it up, have the market prawns blended than pour in to the tank...
Agreed! U can cycle the 2 canisters in pails of water to speed up the process as well.. As ammonia will peak faster due to the less amount of water in pails compared to the whole 200 gallon tank..

Anyway nice tank Redfive!! 200 gal is a dream tank for many of us.. Wat are the dimensions? U have such a wonderful wife!!
